Since Baby Boomers began retiring in 2011, the home service industry has struggled with a growing labor shortage. Decades of steering high school students toward four-year degrees instead of trade schools have only made it worse. Today, more than a million trade jobs remain unfilled, with five skilled tradespeople retiring for every two new ones entering the field.
That shortage means heating and cooling companies of all sizes are competing for the best workers. At C & C Heating & Air Conditioning, we don’t just compete—we win. And when we attract and retain the industry’s top talent, our customers reap the rewards.
Building a Team You Can Count On
Large corporations might try to entice new hires with big perks. But at C & C, our technicians want to work for us because of our stellar reputation. We showcase our brand and our family-oriented culture in ways that attract skilled professionals who share our commitment to our community.
Not only do we offer apprenticeship programs, unique perks and flexible scheduling to attract talent, we also understand that employees are at their best when they feel valued. We work with our team to provide wellness initiatives and bonuses to prevent burnout.
Our employees also never have to worry that C & C won’t be around next year. After 77 years in home service, our longevity speaks to our ability to manage our business. That makes potential employees feel more secure in volatile markets.
Retaining Talent = Better Service
Hiring great technicians is only half the equation. At C & C, we invest in retaining them with ongoing training, mentorship, and a culture that feels like family. Employees who feel valued stay.
But why does that matter to you?
When experienced technicians stay longer, they build stronger skills and deliver better service. A seasoned tech can spot problems faster, make precise repairs and save you from unnecessary downtime or repeat visits.
“Company culture” is more than just a buzzword. It’s one of the top reasons employees stay at a company for the long term. And when employees feel respected, supported, and valued, they bring that same dedication to every home they visit.
That’s how C & C continues to build lasting trust with our customers: by winning—and keeping—the very best people in the industry. If you’d like to join our team, visit our careers page, or if you’re in need of reliable and experienced HVAC service, call us at (586) 439-3319.
